Any advice on which Kar98 model/make to pick up? Does anyone have any recent experiences with the quality of the rifles from some of the distributers in Shotgun News that are on the market now. Looking to pick one up soon and wondering who's are the nicest. Thanks.
 
Re you looking for a shooter or a collector?

If shooter I would get one of the Israeli surplus .308 weapons. (7.62 NATO much easier to come by and cheaper to shoot than 8mm Mauser)

If it is for a collecter, get one with the waffen stamp on it or a DWM. One made in a German factory.

Try to find matching bolt serial #'s and if it is not 8mm then it has been reworked.

Century has some Turks that are dirt cheap and the bores on the ones I bought were not bad.I also have bought some czech VZ 24's that were cheap but the bores were pretty dark.As for ammo Tennessee Guns has a bunch of it (www.tennesseeguns.com).Woops you did say K98 these are both rifles,still cheap shooters though.
 
Check out mosin-nagant.net. Alot of info here as well as dealer links.

I have never bought from Navy Arms/Gibbs but have come across alot of disatisfied customers.

I bought a Yugo 98K from Alans Armoury. Great gun great guy to deal with.

Also Tennesse Guns has alot of Yugp 98K's and cheap ammo.
